Posted in Just another day on the homestead

For us it was a measly 2 1/2 pints. We experimented this year and planted 2 small rows of english peas & 2 small rows of sugar snaps. The sugar snaps were about equal in the amount we picked yesterday. I have to say that for all the garden space & shelling it will be a vegetable that I'll pay for in the store or a farm stand anytime. I like to grow new things, but for 50cents or less per can I'll be buying peas from now on. In the garden at the moment we have about 40 cucumber plants, 46 tomato plants, 4 squash, 4 zucchini, 4 rows of corn, and about 30 assorted pepper plants. It is looking good so far! Today has been a tiring one. Children everywhere & right now my 2 children & another niece & nephew are in the pool splashing away. I'm taking advantage of this time & I'm sitting here while the pot of beans simmer on the stove & the laundry is in the dryer. --Yes I said dryer. It would have been a great day to line dry, but I just didn't get around to that today. I did get ALL the laundry done up & the little bit of peas canned though. When the kids are done swimming we'll have supper & then I'll mop the floor. Then I'm done for the day! Survivor is on tonight & then we'll all play a game of scrabble & bed! |
